Step 3: Choose your team

To help things run smoothly, find someone to be the main contact for the FAL process. This could be the Finance Manager, General Manager, or a consultant working with your First Nation.

It is also a good idea to seek legal counsel and inform the
auditor
at an early stage. Having a lawyer and an auditor as part of your team can help make sure everyone is clear about what’s in your FAL.

Step 4: Draft your FAL

You can change the sample law to better suit your First Nation or use the Sample FAL in full.
